IMPROVEMENT IN DOUGHNUT-CUTTERS.

, Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,783, dated July 9, 1872.

yspring and follower with the center-tube, as

hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the cutter for. cutting` doughnuts and other cakes. B is a'tube which serves as a handle in using the cutter, and which passes through and is secured to the center of the top of the said cutter, and which is designed to cut a hole through the center of the doughnut or cake. In the middle part of the tube B is placed a coiled spring,

O, to the outer end of which is attached a plunger, D.

By this construction, when the cutter is forced through the dough, the follower D is forced inward, compressing the spring (l. As theY cutter is raised from the dough, the spring O pushes the dough out of the center tube B, leaving said center tube free for making another cut.

The cutter A may be made plain or scalloped, according to the kind of cake to be cut. A second cutter, E, may, if desired, be formed upon the other end of the tube B, which second cutter may be made plain or scalloped.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- An article of manufacture, consisting of cutter A, tube B, follower D, and spring C, ar ranged as described.
